Is this really a Game?!

If the leader had changed the method again before coming here, then they would have nothing and it wouldn't matter how much they looked, they would be unable to find the base. The only way to gain anything at that point would be from the damaged soul of the leader who was inside Wolf's sword.

It was debatable if he was even able to tell them anything of value with how his soul was damaged. Even when Wolf and Reign went to the place that Carlos told them about, there was nothing that they were able to get from the soul, no response, nothing.

Reign hoped that even if some things had changed, the place where the base was currently located would stay the same. The elders and other members of the organization had left the base and made their way straight to Doncaster, and from what little information they were able to get from them, they learned that the base could actually move around and the leader would never allow it to stay in the same place for a long period of time.

Moving it was not simple and they would definitely know if the location had changed, which led to Reign and Wolf having hope that what they were about to find out was the real location of the enemy base.

As they stared at the 4 elders who were inside the room, Wolf and Reign patiently waited for them to start talking. Wolf had interrogated them previously and he was certain that they wouldn't lie. If they died, he and Reign would find out, and the elders already knew what would await them if they dared to lie.

"So, you previously said the base can move, how?" Wolf asked the elders as they glanced at each other before one started talking.

​ "Well, none of us are 100% certain of how, but the leader was able to gain access to our current base even before the system arrived here, back then, it wasn't able to move, however."

"It's a kind of pocket dimension, at least that's what we believe it was since one would enter the base from a small cave."

"Without knowing the right method to enter the base, one would never be able to get inside and would simply be inside the small cave, it wasn't hard to leave though, and there were a couple of times when some of our enemies made their way over there, but were never able to realize that the cave was the entrance and that we were hidden away inside the pocket space in which our base was located at."

"The base was the only way we were able to rise again after our numbers had severely declined since the large-scale order attacked us." The elder spoke before sighing.

"After the system arrived, our powers were boosted and by using the monsters that were now everywhere around us, we were able to quickly increase our power before slowly starting to take over the surrounding areas."

"The leader changed, however." The elder spoke in a serious tone.

"He became obsessed with something he had found, we didn't know what it was, but he was bringing items that were of immense power and his own power had grown considerably."

"He was even able to bind the spatial pocket to himself and finally move it, although we did not use that in the beginning since the price to pay was not low, it cost not only S Coins but also some other resources that we did not have in the beginning."

"Of course, with us becoming more powerful and the resources becoming plentiful, we started moving the base around, never letting ourselves stay in one place for too long."

"The base should still be in the same place, there would be a powerful wave of mana appearing nearby every time it moves, and the spatial waves that would appear would also not go unnoticed by us, not to mention that the leader had to be in the base in order to move it."

The elder sighed before showing the location on a map that Reign and Wolf had brought. It was curiously located right next to the mountain range, but in an area that they had never been to before.

It wasn't too far, and it would take the two a couple of hours to get there from the first mountain, which although was not far or long for them, was actually not that near.

The speed both of them could explode with right now was immense and it wasn't something that a normal human could even comprehend.

With them knowing the location now, which was in a completely different area compared to the one Carlos had told them about, the two were now confident that they would truly find the base.

"As for entering the base, it's … well it's a bit complicated." The elder said before showing a symbol on his arm.

"Only those that have the symbol of the organization can enter, and this symbol is not just a simple tattoo that is on our arms."

"The leader had soul bound us to the base, connecting our soul with the spatial pocket that was controlled by him, I do not know how he can control it, he never showed us, but we know that it was from the main office of the base, a place that nobody had access to, except for him."

"With his control over the base, he was able to make these symbols that would appear on our arms when we connected to the base, there is no special method to enter it otherwise, at least we were never told about it."

Hearing the words that the elder spoke, and being fairly confident that he was speaking the truth, Reign and Wolf showed confused expressions on their faces.

From what Carlos had said after being tortured by Aethion, he didn't have the symbol, and neither did his men. He would enter the base by using a complicated method. He needed to get to the correct place before either placing some things nearby and using mana, walking in a complicated pattern, or even by using a poem.

Each time he went to the base, it was a different method, one that was given to him by the leader.

Reign and Wolf came to two different reasons for that, one was that the leader never told anyone that he could allow people without the symbol access to the base, or that there never was a method to enter the base and that the leader was simply making Carlos do such weird things in order to trick him while also laughing at the things he was doing before granting him access.

Since he was able to control the base and move it around, he probably had a way to grant access to those that did not belong to the organization, which meant that the latter was probably the correct one.

Reign made sure to tell Carlos about it as his soul was still trapped inside his consciousness. The soul stared at Reign before starting to rage. He had actually heard everything the elders had said as Aethion had allowed him and the others to watch from inside Reign's consciousness.

Knowing that the leader had played him like a fool and was giving him complicated and weird things to do each time he was visiting the base made Carlos incredibly angry. He had trusted the leader and never even doubted that what he was telling him to do was needed, only to now find out the man had made him act so foolish each time to get a kick out of it before granting him access inside the base.

Reign found it funny too, he could only imagine Carlos singing a song or reading a poem with weird accents in order to gain access. Walking in circles and complicated patterns, even placing some weird and disgusting things around, for nothing.

Even the soul that was inside Wolf's sword chuckled. The sword was leaning against the wall and Reign and Wolf had placed it there in order to see if they could get any kind of reaction from the soul, which they did after speaking of what Carlos was made to do in the past.

The elders could not see the soul, but Reign and Wolf could which further made them certain that the leader had truly done so just to laugh at Carlos's expense.

"We have fulfilled our end of the deal, it's time for you to do the same." One of the elders said an hour later as they finished telling Reign and Wolf everything they knew about the base.
